Course Content

This course covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are applied to various systems, components, and cycles in the first section. Fluid statics, continuity-Bernoulli-energy-momentum equations, and external flow concerns are explored in the second section. The final section examines heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation.
